    All the shows they put on are very well done and we have seen a lot of them. What stands out about…read morethis theater is the staff. From the valets who are the 1st to greet you to the bartenders who are always happy and very quick with service to the ushers and all the other staff, they all just create an amazing environment for a great night out. I have to say that Jill went out of her way one night as my wife had a minor coughing fit so she left the theater as to not disturb the show. When she didn't come back in about 4 or 5 mins I came out looked at the ladies room and Jill immediately said I'll check on her for you as if she read my mind. Of course she was fine but for Jill to be so aware to all the guests needs like that to me is over the top impressive. Even though Jill is amazing, she truly represents how everyone at the theater care about their jobs and more importantly all of their guests. Like I said too this isn't for one night it's time after time whenever we go which is quite incredible.

They have a bar offering drinks and snacks - heads up...a water was $4 lol. The parking is crazy in that area but they do offer free valet parking which is nice. I'd def visit again though if there is a show I'd like to see. I saw The Bodyguard here and it was good. I enjoyed it alot!

    And the Long Island stoners rejoice: yo man, let's smoke up and see a Van Halen laser show…read more. Vanderbilt Museum, when I moved to Long Island? It was like the Fresh Air fund for me! I thought everyone lived in these mansions with manicured gardens. Now add rock music and a laser show? Yes, sharks with freakin' laser beams shows! I remember coming here on a date with my girlfriend (now wife) in the 90s and seeing a Pink Floyd laser show. I was a little perturbed because they only played New Pink Floyd. Brah, I wanna rock out to MONEY! My wife, bless her heart, bought us two tickets to see the Van Halen laser show. All these years later, we're back. And trust me, I'm still impressed with the beauty of the property. We walk down the hill to the actual planetarium. There's a couple of stoners on line, if they keep quiet during the performance then no one is gonna have problems. The theater is shaped like a circle, there's no bad seats. The doors close and for an hour, I had Van Halen music crankin'! The actual show, the lasers seem a little dated. I went to The Sphere in Vegas a few months ago, this is old technology. But, it's on Long Island and people still enjoyed the shows. 3.5 Yelp stars

    I know it has taken me forever before I was able to visit and share my thoughts about this place…read more One of the best places to visit in Long Island if you haven't been. The entirety of the place has so many things to offer for all ages. I would recommend to visit during summer time where everything will look gorgeous. The rich history behind this house and grounds is so captivating. We took the opportunity to tour the mansion. How often can you visit now a museum that allowing you to see the entire building and the grounds for a great price. The architecture of the house and its grounds is unbelievable. It brings back a great memory of a trip in Spain. The harbour view is beautiful. Best spot of the place. There was a plus when we had the visit today, the annual car show for fall season. You need the entire day to fully enjoy this day. We missed to check on their planetarium as it is only open during night time of Fridays and Saturdays. There is good reason to return.

    LIYB is much more than a place to dance-it's a community that supports and nurtures every student…read more Jackie and her daughters, who run the school, are deeply knowledgeable and committed to helping each dancer reach their full potential, both technically and personally. My daughter has been dancing with LIYB for over 3 years and she looks forward to attending each and every class! The atmosphere here is unmatched, everyone encourages one another and celebrates each other's success and growth. This school not only builds strong dancers but also confident, passionate young people. Their performances are a must see- when you leave you know you've witnessed something special.

    If there are two words I may use to describe my experience with LIYB, they are LOVE and EXCELLENCE…read more Jackie and her daughters, who run the ballet school together as a team, exhibit the utmost love for their students as well as for the performing art of ballet. They personify the terms bespoke, artisanal, personal, custom, passionate. This is the exact opposite of a run-of-the-mill dance school. As for "excellence", LIYB trains its students with that caliber, and expects nothing less, without the arrogance or pretense. It's a simply downright excellent environment. In my book, coupling love and excellence together is a big win. It is something I want my daughter to be around and a feeling of being an interdependent family has been created along the way. If you want to be a part of a performing arts world where your child will learn excellent ballet technique, acquire life skills, develop friendships, and experience love in a multitude of ways, this is the place for you. If you want a drop-off-and-pick-up after-school dance program for your child, this may not necessarily be for you (though you can grow into it!). I'm glad to have found LIYB. My daughter is excelling in her ballet and disciplinary skills, and each year, each performance just continues to awe us!

    We were here as guests for an Indian wedding. While the venue itself was absolutely beautiful,…read morethere were just a few little details that created an experience that's not worthy of 5 full stars. First, the "ladies lounge" (AKA the restroom) only appeared to be located on the first floor. The event we were attending was on the second floor, so this was just wildly inconvenient to constantly have to go downstairs. Plus, it was usually a bit of a mess in there. Paper towels strung all over the place. A random mop hanging out in front of the stalls. I get that it was a Friday night and that there was a second event taking place at the same time, but they had a LOT of staff that seemed to prefer standing around instead of working to keep the restroom tidy... Also, there was a lot of confusion as to where to put our empty plates. The buffet was located in the room across the hall from where the event we were attending was being held. Some people took their plates back across the hall to enjoy their meal at a table, while some of us just stood around in the room with the food and chose to enjoy our meals away from the loud dance floor. When we were finished eating, we had no idea what to do with our empty plates. We asked a staff member as they were walking by and he didn't seem to know what to do with them, either, which was perplexing. He grabbed one of his coworkers who then took our plates from us. Overall, this was a pretty good experience from a guest's perspective! The venue is VERY large and accommodates for very big guest lists, which is a huge advantage. However, I do think the staff could use some better training to help lessen overall confusion and to help keep the place in a cleaner condition while the event space is being used.

    I was beyond disappointed with the food and the plating. The grilled chicken was not cold; it was…read morerefrigerator temperature. They left the plates on the table too long after people tried to consume the cold food. I wanted to take notes, but the plates were in the way. The amount of money paid for this even desired better attention. I will say the wait staff and the coat check woman were good. And it was clean.

    We came across the Ballroom of Huntington in our search for a place to learn choreo for our first…read moredance at our wedding. We definitely procrastinated as we waited till 3 weeks before our wedding to set up lessons, however that did not seem to be an issue for the people at the Ballroom of Huntington. They heard about our time constraint and immediately worked with us to get us into the studio as soon as possible. They are open late which is beneficial for our schedule. We were paired with Dennis who is an angel of a human being. He is a great teacher and was able to create choreography for our first dance and make it unique. He was very accommodating and even came in on a Sunday when the studio is closed to get us an additional lesson. By the end of our 4th lesson, we were ready to perform at our wedding and we only wish Dennis was there to witness it as I know he would have been very proud of us. The studio itself is a large space, however everyone practices in the same space regardless of if you are there for a group lesson or private lesson. It didn't make much of a difference to me and it provided us with a little audience. They have a great speaker system so they can play whatever song you want for your dance. The cost was on the higher end for what I expected, but I don't know what the cost of private lessons normally runs. Ultimately, we are very happy with our decision to use Ballroom of Huntington to learn our first dance.

    Great experience. My kids and I had a blast taking a lesson. The instructor was patient and worked…read morehard. He even had his wife step in to help us make proper pairs.
